Check to make sure that nothing is obstructing the airbag compartment on the outside of the pack,
especially any items with sharp points such as crampons or ice tools. Only carry skis using the
diagonal ski carry. Do not use the side compression straps for A-frame carry, as they may obstruct the
airbag’s deployment.
Pack Adjustments
Your pack should be properly fitted before you head into avalanche terrain. The forces
of an avalanche can rip the pack from your back if it is not secured to your body.
Attaching Leg Strap
The leg strap
10
can be found in the waist belt pocket
11
. It should be used to
prevent the pack from being pulled off in an avalanche. Remove the leg strap from
the waist belt pocket. Thread one of the waist buckle pieces
12
through one end
of the leg strap. Wrap the other end of the leg strap behind you and pull it forward
between your legs. Insert the same waist buckle piece through the loose end of the
leg strap and fasten the waist buckle. Tighten the adjustment until it is snug but comfortable.

Waist Buckle 12
There are two parts to the buckle: male and female. Insert the male part into the widest opening of the
female part. Tighten the waist strap until snug. When attached correctly, the webbing and the buckle
should lay flat against your body.
Shovel and Probe Storage
Store shovel blade, shovel handle and probe in designated pockets, located in the external tool
compartment.
